It was the TSC Christmas Party at night and they had organised a 6-way Speedstars competition during the day.

And the “Angles For The Girls” camp was a great success, organised by Rosie Dodgson. Thanks to all the ladies involved for getting into it and working on their angle skills. Thanks to the guys Matt Drew, Kurt Cooper, and David Schlatter (“Flossy”) for their coaching! Thanks to the APF Fi Fund, SQPC, and TSC for their support of the event.

Angles For the Girls

Angles For The Girls – Report by Rosie

“Hello!

Just a quick round up from the awesome day we had this weekend on the 5th of December for our Angles For The Girls mini camp!

Firstly, thank you to all our amazing sponsors who contributed to this amazing day. We had such an incredible response with the event of 11 girls being fully registered in the first day of announcing the event. The reserve list was just as long!

Our day was kicked off by a seminar run by free fly coach Matt Drew. Running through body positions, formations, exits, break offs and, of course, safety!

After that we were taken trough the navigation of the dz including jump run, directions of moving groups and winds.

We were put into groups that were designed to fit each skill level and a coach who helped us all progress in the areas we wanted.

We squeezed in 2 loads with amazing briefs and debriefs before the weather came in and we were winded off.

The progression in these 2 jumps was huge in all that attended. We had some amazing camera flyers that were able to get all sorts of angles of each girl to help the debriefing of each jump.

Even with the weather coming in we had an amazing day, which was flooded with support and good vibes.

Again, Thanks so much to our sponsors and supporters who helped us run such an amazing day!!”
